Hi, it’s nice to meet you! I am an orthodontic assistant, and I love helping our patients achieve their perfect smile. I also make retainers, pour models of patients’ teeth, and prepare medical records. I love that there is always something new to do in my job, and every duty I have helps people create and maintain their healthy smiles. Our patients are really special people, and I love getting to know them and their families personally. At home, my husband, James, and I have three children named Kasey, Justin and Seth, and lots of pets!
Diane

Hello, I am the financial administrator for our office, and I help our patients make the most from their insurance coverage! I also help schedule appointments and handle all financial needs for the office and our patients. One of the best parts of working here is seeing our patients gain confidence as their orthodontic treatments progress. Of course, I also love chatting with patients and parents about financial options, and seeing them relax when they realize how simple financing can be! Outside the office, I love spending time with my family. I am married with two children and five grandchildren.

As the clinical coordinator, I work with our patients during their orthodontic treatment, and prepare models. I also serve as the accounts payable clerk and have other office duties, so I am busy all the time! The best part of my job is the time I spend with our patients, laughing and having fun. I enjoy working for Dr. Bussa because he is such a talented and professional orthodontist. He always takes time to chat with our patients, answering questions and making them feel at ease. At home, I have two wonderful kids, Evan and Shelby. In my spare time, I love traveling and cooking!
Karla

I am the luckiest person at this practice, because I have the best job! I am the patient coordinator, and I help introduce our patients to orthodontics, making sure they understand their treatment. After patients come and see me, they are so excited about putting on their braces and getting their new smiles! I love chatting with our patients about their questions or concerns, and making them feel completely at ease about the whole process. When I am not at work, you can find me hanging out with my husband, Jamey, and our daughters Kay’Lee and Alexa.
Rita

Hi there! I am an orthodontic assistant, and I help prepare patients for putting their braces on and removing them. I also take dental impressions, perform X-rays, and make retainers. I truly enjoy interacting with our patients, finding out what their needs and goals are, and just making them feel comfortable. Working with Dr. Bussa is great because I am always learning something new from him! He’s a really wonderful orthodontist and a great person to work for. After work, I love coming home to by husband, Tom and son, Marc!
